The fee to submit an Entry to the Chrysalis Awards is $190 per submission.

Digital Entry FormatIf you have already submitted a digital entry into another competition, Chrysalis will accept your entry in it's existing format without changes required. You have the opporunity to submit a PDF file (or other files) on the Entry form.

Images and files should be labeled to identify the content. Individual images should not exceed 10Mb. They take too long to load onto the screen. It's in your best interest to keep the file sizes reasonable.
